LA233 - Refugee & Asylum Law

Module content and teaching

Principal aims

The aim of this module is to study how refugees and asylum seekers are controlled by the law in the UK and EU. In recent years, the issue of asylum has emerged as a source of concern to successive British governments and has led to an expanding jurisprudence on refugee and asylum law. European countries have introduced increasingly restrictive measures on asylum seekers, often with serious implications for refugees.
